However, we have found very little guidance available for advocacy groups, such as disabled peoples’ organisations (DPOs), on what comes before and after research is done. This handbook addresses this gap, providing practical information for DPOs on why they might decide to undertake research, how to identify who to work with, how to guide the process to ensure they obtain results that are useful for them and what do to with their research findings.</p>

<p>This toolkit has been developed as one component of the DFID funded Cross-Cutting Disability Research Programme (CCDRP) undertaken by the Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Development Centre, University College London.
